Rules in force · 7
  • New Zealand ↗Visa-waiver visitors need an NZeTA (with the tourism levy) before travel, including many transit passengers; others need a visa. Apply only through Immigration New Zealand or its official app, and check the rules for your passport.
  • New Zealand ↗Declare all food, plant and animal products, and used outdoor gear such as hiking boots and tents, on the New Zealand Traveller Declaration; undeclared risk items bring instant fines.
  • New Zealand ↗Drive on the left; give way as signed at one-lane bridges; an English-language licence or one with an approved translation or International Driving Permit is required.
  • New Zealand ↗Freedom camping is restricted: sleep in a vehicle only where signed as allowed, and in many places only in certified self-contained vehicles.
  • Upper North Island ↗Collect the hire car on the day you leave Auckland: CBD parking is expensive and the first day after a long flight is the wrong time to drive on the left.
  • Auckland ↗Declare all food, plant, animal products and used outdoor gear on the New Zealand Traveller Declaration; undeclared items bring instant fines.
  • Auckland ↗Collect the hire car on the day you leave the city: CBD parking is expensive and jet lag and left-side driving make the first day the wrong time to start.
